Police released a surveillance tape on their Facebook page showing one of three men who robbed another Wednesday night in hopes someone can identify the robber.

The robbery occurred on Garden Street. One of the robbers pulled out a knife and another showed a gun.

The videotape shows the man who had the knife, who appears to be 20 to 25 years old, about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighing about 150 pounds with a medium build, inside a nearby store shortly before the robbery, police said.

In one sequence on the tape, police were able to zoom in on the man's face as he walked through the front door of the shop.

Lt. Diedrich Hohn said the victim was not injured, with the three taking the man's wallet, which had less than $100 in cash.
